I have the LoadDVD Version1.2 installed, could it be this? But then why is it working with the ISO files?

This is the kind of error report I like to see. What you did, what happened, what version, etc. Beautiful!

Ok, I think maybe you did nothing wrong - what you have done, looks OK on the surface. LoadDVD has some checking for valid filetypes (actually, more in-valid filetypes) in order to protect the user from executing a program by mistake while simply trying to play a file.

Let me check and see if my filetype checker is the problem, and I'll get back to you.

@Giga - thanks once again. Note that as of V1.2, URL style filepaths should also work. So, both martin's and yours should work fine, barring any other issues. And you are correct, latest release, V1.45 has a number of bug fixes and new internal coding for "file" and "play" that might improve file associations operation.

somehow feel we are close ...

You are.

Anyway, once again I request you read Giga's instructions for using PlayFromDisk.bat, and you will be there!

OK, will try later this evening with this .bat file. First have to read through the thread to understand what to do.

One other small question: how do you make this "Quote" insert in the replay? Is there a special command for that?

OK, OK, now even got this worked out...

Giga, mediadogg - you are my heros! after modifying the PlayFromDisk.bat it works!!!

Now I will start to edit all my Blu-Ray profiles in DVD Profiler

Also I will try the same for my HD DVDs, there I still have to find the right file in the folder that I have to open with TotalMedia Theatre, analog the index.bdmv in Blu-Ray. Maybe someone has already the answer...

Edit: It is the file HVxxxI01.VTI

@mediadogg: will I have to edit the PlayFromDisk.bat every time after installing a new version of LoadDVD?

Again thank you very much for your help!

No problem, will back it up or just make every time the small changes.

Thanks.

How about the idea of starting a new thread and documenting the different solutions like the one I had "Playing DVD, HD DVD and BR DVD from hard disk using TotalMedia Theatre"? The idea would not be to have comments and reply in that thread, only one solution per topic. Answers/questions would be covered in the "LoadDVD - Open / Play Media and Disc Changer Support" thread.

I'm sure many people would appreciate to have such a concentrated information pool.

What do you think?

I agree that Giga has probably the best approach. I hear you, but it seems no matter what, new enthusiastic, always well-meaning users, will often enter the plugins forum, start their own thread and completely bypass all prior attempts to present solutions. If this forum allowed plugin thread owners to be moderators, then information could be reorganized, extraneous posts deleted or moved, etc. Just when we think we've got a solution documented, we'll get a bunch of intervening posts, and we start all over again ...

Again, I think Giga is on the right track. Perhaps he will (maybe he already has!) update that post to include your solution.

Another idea: I believe that there is a DVD Profiler Wiki. If the owner of that resource would allow entries for plugins, that might be another alternative.

One more thought: I could put more stuff on my web site - again, in my experience, people don't bother to read what is already there. Sorry, hope I don't sound too cynical. That's one of the reasons that Giga's help is appreciated - he is a lot more patient ... 

Last thought: In general your idea is a good one. You might consider a post in the Website Discussion Forum along the lines of giving plugin authors some kind of ability to establish a locked solutions thread or something along those lines, that they can control, and perhaps delegate moderator privileges to one or more experienced users (heh heh ...)

Edit: Another "final" thought: I do own the first post - how about I rewite it, shorten the intro and just point to the web site where that information is duplicated, then devote the rest of the post to a categorized list of solutions ... yaaaay! that may be just the ticket!!!!  Edit: no need to send me anything, just post your solutions and I'll point to them. When I get the time, I'll do the editing ... how about that?
